I did a manual install of KB4534310 and could now start the game but have microstutter that I did not have before that make the game unplayable.
I hope they do find the problem in the anticheat software because I do belive some change made to it is causing this.
As a strong supporter of anticheat I hope it also works better than today, because this great game is unfortunatly riddled with cheaters.
@Arne99 This is what has been happening to me too except there's nothing "micro" about my stutters. It's a near constant stutter whenever I go to do... literally anything. I've also gotten most, if not all, of the red error symbols. I also checked task manager and it looked to me that apex was taking up A LOT more memory than it should/ was normal (so possible memory leak?).
Just a recap for those that have not read the complete thread.

I just want to elaborate on my microstutter, for me and kid that are on a diffrent rig with same issue is that the stutter is more of a small freeze every 10-15 seconds, regardless if in main menu or in game.
A guess is that the anticheat software now do either a report/question over the net or a file integrity check every 10-15 seconds and uses some system resource in a blocking way for apex exe, just that small hang thing at least should be a easy fix and maybe that also could be a crash reason depending on version of the op. I do have a lot of years in the software area.

I just tried a few rounds now and did now observe that in the main menu just moving the mouse left to right make the character "jitter" while doing it, add to above info.
non of the solutions mentioned worked for me, waiting for devs response
For everyone who was using Autoruns to flag drivers, figure out what program they're connected to and update or remove that software. It fixed my problem (mine was AOMEI Backupper).
